See Me In the Light

I learned not to trust my night self

Learned to put my cell on a high shelf 

outta reach

At night the Freaks come out and roam the streets

 

I was young and dumb

Back when I was a Georgia peach

Now I'm wise and numb... Savin the seed 

Till it's strong enough to choke the weed

 

You call I won't cum

Yeah I'm still full of it

Tantric covers til I find a Young M.C.-- A it's still a pool in it

 

Don't you hate it when, you missin' him

N you know he only miss the swim...

He lapped up all you felt...

You made a Michael Phelps

And on a "I do" on a "Oh-Welp"

he'll give the gold to someone else

 

Yeah I be up

Yeah I hear it but won't pick it up

Cuz At night the freaks come out and roam the streets

Rather beat my meat...

even tho it makes me cry

You used to lie deflect n call me touchy 

Touché on the replay 

now I reflect n touch myself to a lie

 

In GA I used run-a-muck 

I moved to LA and became a monk

Diamond uncut

Too priceless to be shiny

Even wit all these city lights behind me

 

Voicemail full 

He still hit me on the telepathy

Right--when the demons are chasin' me

round--when the night sweats are wakin' me

I tell my conscience yeah I got the message

There still some feeling... tho it's just a vestige

I pray for healin' before I ask for blessings

Cuz the spoils will turn to weapons

And Kisses'll kill you if you let 'em...

Judas just let me sleep

At night the freaks come out and roam the streets

I pray the Lord my soul-to-keep
